- SMSarah MartinOct 23, 20255.0How lucky are we in Crofton to have Advance Auto parts with people like Jay providing top tier excellent customer service. On more than one occasion now Jay has going above and beyond on a bad car day, as a result hands down advanced Auto parts in Crofton has my loyalty. I normally sort of flip flop based on convenience and traffic as to where I go for my auto parts and supply needs, but not anymore. He's also extremely knowledgeable and shares that information with customers, I would trust that if I sent my niece over to ask a question or get help looking for a car part, that he would point her in the right direction. Customer trust is rare these days. I hope management sees this and gives that man a raise or at least a paid day off! Thanks Jay and advance Auto parts for coming through in a pinch.
- MPMonecia PayneOct 9, 20255.0I'm writing this review for Jay he was a blessing today he was working on someone else's car, and he told me he would take care of me as soon as he finished with her. He was very helpful to the both of us. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I wish I could give him ten stars

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
